Professional Carpet Cleaning in Raleigh

Maintaining a clean and healthy space starts from the ground up—literally! Over time, carpets collect dirt, dust, allergens, and even bacteria, which can affect both air quality and comfort. Vacuuming along can remove surface dirt, but it does not provide the restorative clean your carpets need. That’s why regular, professional carpet cleaning is essential.

At Soap & Steam Carpet Cleaning, we provide trusted, professional carpet cleaning services in Raleigh and surrounding areas. Whether you're dealing with stubborn carpet stains, unpleasant odors, or just need a fresh start with routine maintenance, our team of certified carpet cleaning professionals is here to help.

We use powerful cleaning methods to leave your carpets looking spotless, smelling fresh, and feeling like new—so your home or office stays clean, healthy and inviting!

Soap & Steam’s Carpet Cleaning Process

At Soap & Steam, we provide more than just surface-level cleaning — our process is thorough, effective and provides long-lasting results. Here’s an overview of our carpet cleaning process:

Pre-Inspection

We begin by assessing your carpets to identify stains, wear and any specific treatment needs. Not all carpet, or stains, are alike! Our trained technicians determine the right tools and methods for your specific carpet type. This ensures we deliver top-results every time. (Don’t believe us? Check out our Google Reviews! Time and time again Soap & Steam has delivered high-quality, efficient cleans for customers in Raleigh and surrounding areas.)

Pre-Vacuuming

We remove loose dirt, dust, and debris to ensure a deeper, more effective clean. Vacuuming is a critical first step in our process, as it prevents dirt from being pushed deeper into the carpet fibers.

Pre-Spray
Treatment

We apply a specially formulated solution designed to break down soil and loosen tough grime, especially in high-traffic areas. This treatment ensures that dirt and stains are easier to remove, resulting in a more effective clean.

Agitation

Using a brush machine, we gently agitate the carpet fibers to lift embedded dirt and prepare them for extraction. This step ensures that the carpet fibers are thoroughly loosened, improving the overall cleaning efficiency.

Hot Water
Extraction

We use powerful Steam Cleaning methods to remove dirt, allergens, and cleaning agents, leaving carpets fresh, clean, and residue-free. This method ensures a deep clean that’s both effective and safe for your carpet.

Final Inspection

We will review the results with you to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Quick Drying

Our advanced cleaning method minimizes downtime with faster drying times. We use powerful equipment that extracts moisture quickly, so you can get back to enjoying your clean carpets in no time.

1. How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?

It's generally recommended to have your carpets professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. However, factors such as household size, presence of pets, and foot traffic can influence this schedule. Homes with children or pets may benefit from more frequent cleanings to maintain carpet hygiene and appearance.

The most effective method for carpet cleaning is hot water extraction, commonly known as steam cleaning. This technique involves injecting hot water and solution into the carpet fibers and then extracting it along with dirt and debris. It's recommended by most carpet manufacturers and is effective for deep cleaning.

Drying time can vary based on humidity levels, airflow, and carpet type. On average, carpets may take between 8 to 12 hours to dry completely after a professional cleaning. Using fans or air conditioning can help accelerate the drying process.

Many professional carpet cleaning companies use eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for children and pets. It's advisable to inquire about the specific products used and ensure they meet safety standards.

I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I received. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch cleaning services. I can’t wait to have my hardwood floors cleaned. The results of my couch cleaning were absolutely stunning.

Fabio did a great job! Really nice to deal with as well, everything ran smoothly. No problems. He gave next day service and my white/beige large couch came out really fresh and clean as well as my rugs. Highly recommend

Fabio did a wonderful job cleaning my cotton canvas sofa. I'd already tried to spot clean it and the fabric lost color immediately. He assured me he could get the troubled spots out and I'm elated with his results. It looks new again! Thank you Fabio!!

We chose Soap & Steam because on their website they indicated that they specialized in removing pet stains from carpeting. Fabio came today and seems to have done an excellent job. Highly recommend!

I'm so pleased with my Soap & Steam experience! I'm a pretty Type-A person so I did quite a bit of poking around before selecting a company to clean a couple of pieces of neglected, upholstered furniture. Soap & Steam has received consistently glowing reviews across several platforms and is well-regarded by the BBB. And I can see why! Fabio has been very attentive from the moment I initiated contact, responding to my call quickly, asking me for photos of the furniture and discussing what would be done to include very clear pricing. (I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a review for a *different* company that apparently charged extra to clean the other side of removable sear cushions!!!) I experienced NONE of that nonsense with Soap & Steam. I received a timely appointment; enjoyed friendly and clear communication with Fabio; and am tickled with the results of his work. This is my ringing endorsement and sincere recommendation. Thank you Fabio and Soap & Steam!

Fabio was amazing and such a great job. The unit I live in is pretty run down with carpet over 30+years old that a landlord refuses to change. I usually get steam cleaning services done every year to keep it looking presentable but life got in the way and my last cleaning was over 2.5 years ago. It was a night and day difference after he was done. Since I was on site, he even checked in with me after every room before moving on to the next to ensure his work was done to my liking. Would highly recommend and use his services again!

Fabio is fantastic. He really believes in excellent customer service, and does a really nice job cleaning carpets. I thought I might have to replace my carpets. They look almost new. He put in the time to do a great job. I’ll definitely be using him again in the future whenever I need a carpet or sofas cleaned.
Thank, Fabio!

I recently used Soap & Steam Carpet Cleaning, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Fabio was the technician, and he did an absolutely fantastic job from start to finish.

He arrived on time, was professional and courteous, and took the time to explain the entire cleaning process before getting started. Fabio was extremely thorough and managed to remove some tough stains I thought would never come out. The carpets now look and smell fresh, and the difference is like night and day.

If you're looking for high-quality, reliable carpet cleaning, I highly recommend Soap & Steam Carpet Cleaning—and definitely ask for Fabio. You won’t be disappointed!

Fabio & Caesar were so fast and efficient, by the time I finished with brunch down the street they were done (within the hour)! This was my first time hiring carpet cleaning services and i’m satisfied with my results. The only thing I’d do differently, and my advice to you, is to move all the little things you can. They don’t move the bedside tables, or small shoe rack. Which I now understand, is not their job and possibly a liability issue. It was my first time ever doing this so now I know! They will however move the bigger tables if simple enough to get under there and if you communicate that to them. There aren’t really any price differences for rooms even if a majority of the room is taken up by a big bed– just something to keep in mind! The convenience and cleanliness though was worth it! Fabio and Caesar are incredibly friendly and professional. I’ll definitely hire them again and tell my friends about them as well. Thanks guys!

Fabio showed up on time, in fact, early ready to go to work. He assessed my carpet and gave me a fair price for the work. My carpets came out amazing! He was so courteous and kind. I immediately rescheduled for my next carpet cleaning appointment because when you find companies that do good work, you repay them by becoming a repeat customer. If Soap and Stain, cleans your carpets, you’re gonna want them to keep coming back! Excellent work!

Super professional. You can tell he’s an expert and has been doing this for a while. The water hookup was challenging and Fabio was very patient and helped figure out a solution. The carpets look amazing and they haven’t even dried yet. He took the time and care to do the job efficiently and effectively. Will recommend him to everyone!

Fabio was extremely professional, considerate and efficient. His pricing was also very fair compared to other quotes I received. His system for reminders and payment was seamless. I will be calling him for my other properties.
